Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why not "only"?
Because at least when you use their private routing feature messages go: sender -> custom sender's server -> custom receiver's server -> receiver
So unless sender and receiver are configured to use servers under your control, there will be at least one foreign server involved.
To be fair I'm not sure how that works, when you don't use their private routing feature.

Oh yeah sorry I thought that both ends configured custom self hosted servers. But yeah in the "normal" case the self hosted server is "only" contributing to the network
